SS/SC Vs. NSX part 3: The Proof.

http://yah-evolution.net/videoone.html ........... roll
http://yah-evolution.net/videotwo.html ........... dig
http://yah-evolution.net/videothree.html ......... props


You guys asked for it, so here it is. :grinyes:

beautiful car, but the nsx should've ripped that SS out of the hole shot. but from a roll its exactly as you would describe it. i also saw a few videos of cobalt SS's on the dyno at streetfire.net there was a black one iwht just an exhuast putting down 250whp. thats pretty impressive. and the one with just a intake is putting donw 240whp.

BS, that's a Ford Fiesta with a body kit.









JK, I must say I'm suprised. :icon16:

:rofl: I woulda sold my car the next day if a Fiesta with a body kit hung with me for more than ....00002223 seconds Woulda been a kick ass Fiesta though...


I figured I'd hold out on letting you guys know about the vid untill I had them ready to post.

From looking at those dark vids, can you give a guesstimate as to what year it might be, Tat? I also think I might post these on idiotfire.net, pretty much everyone there hates the SS...so I like to fuel their fire a bit. :evillol: The more SS/RL flaming they do, the more I get a kick out of it.

The newer ones have different headlights, but I'm not sure how to tell what year that one was. Maybe the newer flip up headlight ones have the same engine as the brand new ones with non flip up headlights.

This one did have flip up lights, but I still dunno what exact year the damn thing was...grrr. I'm so pissed at myself for not thinking to ask, I always ask that when I talk to the other guy. :banghead:

You need to tell your camera man to lay off the crack that was one shaky video.

The Camera "man" was his girlfriend.

Having said that, you should have told her to start stripping after the video :grinyes: :biggrin:

That would be my camera girlfriend and she doesnt do any crack...that I know of :lol2:

Although I'll admit, she's awefull with a camera, but she's the best I could do for the night. Also, coming in at a total of 115 pounds, soaking wet with a full stomach, she's much better for performance than my 200 pound Mexican buddy. :iceslolan

:lol2: That woulda got me a kick in the ass...

the only reason people here are hating the SS is the same reason they hate on the SRT-4. Some jerks just cant fathom the fact that a car that costs 3 or even 4 times less then thier overpriced cars is kicking the crap out of them.

keep it up bro. :cheers:

sounded like the nsx was an auto in the second vid, but then at the end of the third video it sounds like he puts it in gear at the end... so im confused

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

I also heard him shifting the thing around while he was driving before we raced, which is why I also thought it was the 5spd. But then when we raced the thing sounded like an auto...

My car kinda sounds like an auto as when I powershift it, but not like his, so I dunno what the deal is.

Sweet proof mang

Also, props on the gf taking the vid.

:iceslolan that will shut some people up. You should get your car dyno'ed Im really curious what your cars putting down.

I was always behind you and never doubted any of your kills. I hope this shuts some people up. :biggrin:

i wish i could tell you what year the car is but its too dark. i can't even tell what color the thing is.

i can't even tell what color the thing is.


I know this one! its black. Does that help?? :grinno:


I was always behind you and never doubted any of your kills. I hope this shuts some people up. :biggrin:


HAHA, suuuuure you did. I think you've been one of my biggest naysayers for the last couple months. :grinyes:

it's alright though, I understand why most everyone doubts the car. It is after all Chevy compact, and chevy has never made a competitive compact before. I just take it all like a grain of sand any more, no hard feelings. :smile:

How much did you have to pay the guy to say those props?

;)

32 dollars and 63 cents...it's all i had in my pocket at the time :icon16:

Works for me.

Whoa, those were two fucking awesome races, both really close...love the sound of that NSX too! Impressive races.

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed them!


I've got the camera in the car tonight, and the g/f is with me...hmmm. May have to go hunting again tonight.... :evillol:

Cool vids. Looks like it was a close race. Those are always the most fun.

Alright Bulldog, it's time I confess. Your SS is quite "fantastical", I'm impressed with just how well you hung in there with him, if not taken him. Maybe I'm not used to riding shotgun w/camera, but I couldn't barely hear your car over the vtec monster...any exhaust work done to the SS? Thanks for the Proof

wow, how couldnt you hear the supercharger whine?

question about the vid, you were even for a while, when you pulled ahead did he let off or what?

pretty cool stuff

How are you getting these good runs in........I havent even ran a wrx yet......

The fantasical SS has a K&N Typhoon and an IPP C/F hood...that's it for now.

Yeah, when I started pulling away from him he let off. The first vid my bumper was maybe 5 inches in front his his. That one we let off more due to the traffic light that was 1/8 mile up the road, but I was still ahead slighty when we did let off. He did say that if I hadnt nailed the limiter in 2nd I woulda pulled away from him like I did the first race(didnt get the first run on camera)

Phoenix Metro is a BIG place with a lot of cars and a lot of straight roads.

Depends on what part of town you live in. Ft. hills, Awatukee and Scottsdale are very nice for the most part. On the other hand, there's most of Tempe, South Phoenix and some parts of Mesa that are for lack of a better word...ghetto. :disappoin

nice job bulldog, good job showing these naysayers what a supercharged 4 cylinder can do. I think i need to invest in a video camera.

Also how the hell do you find so many damn races? Christ you get more races than cars i see. Also how many close calls with the cops have you had? I fear your luck is gonna run out soon.

Also how the hell do you find so many damn races?
I think he get so into many races is because carbon fiber hood screams race me.

Paint your hood black and add a fake hood scoop and I bet you will get a lot more people trying to race you.

Look a few posts above this one for explainations of the number of my numerous races. As for the fuzz, I'm fairly picky about where and when I run a car, along with having some pretty good cop karma. I'm always watching out ahead and behind me when I drive anyway, so I usually have a good idea if I'm being watched or not. Can't stay lucky forever though...

You've gone too far with that one buddy! :icon16:

But yeah, the wing + the c/f hood do advertise "I might be kinda fast...race me and find out!"

keep it up bro. :cheers:

i do hate the srt-4 but i actually like the cabolt. its just i have to be left with all types of reasons how it happen. i'm not going with driver error here. its as if i killed a ferrari 355, from beggining to end, or a Z06, it would make you guys think also, like how is that possible. well its very possible but certain things must be for it to happen.

regardless good kill buddy

I think that u might have raced a 95-97 nsx because 95 was the first year the introduced the "SportShift" Formula 1-inspired shifting system, which was controlled by a small lever behind the steering wheel. which would explain why it sounded like an automatic and also in the thrid vid when he drives of it sounds like he down shifted. the stats are
Production: 780
Engines: 3.0 V6 270 bhp @ 7100 rpm, 210 lb-ft @ 5300 rpm.
Performance: 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, 1/4 mile in 14.0 seconds.
and i think they tested it with a manual to get that. so the sport shift might be a little slower.

btw nice race

Thanks.

I think a sport shifter almost sounds about right. Cause I know he kept downshifting that thing, but his upshifts sounded like they were auto shifts. Makes sense.

[QUOTE=youngvr4]i do hate the srt-4

why must you hate...........why, why, why

Cool, this is exactly what I requested. I guess I'll have to go download quicktime to check it out though.

I don't think people hate on your car just like they hated on the srt-4 because its ripping cars 3-4 times more expensive, I think that just as people criticized the srt-4 for basically being a faster neon, people just see the Cobalt SS as just being the newer, faster cavalier (kinda like jayson). Haha I'm just messing around but really, I wish you were around my area, I am aching to run one of those and see how I fair on medium boost. Now that I've been able to reach 14 psi I've acquired somewhat of an invincible ego that requires shattering before it gets me into any trouble.


Edit -
Just saw the vids and you hung in with him well, I can't tell but did you get a jump on the roll? Because it looked like he stepped on it right after you did as he began to pull a bit. The dig was closer but it seemed as if he shut down right at the end in both.

from looking at your kill list, it looks like you have eaten everything just below your level, Time for you to seek out some of the bigger fish now just like you did with this one. :evillol:

The first vid happend like I explained in the story...neither of us were making a move, so I got on it for a bit to let him know I was ready. Then I slowed back down and waited for him to line up with me but he nailed it before he got totally even. He was infact the first one to hit the gas though so the little gap wasn't really too big of a deal. What killed is was the fact that I was pulling on him pretty good but nailed the rev-limiter, which gave him a chance to catch up.

Also, it looks like he shuts down short in both races because we ran out of runway to continue our little battles, but in both races I was ahead a bit on him. The first vid I was maybe 5 inches ahead when he shut down and in the dig he was at my door. If my G/F wouldnt have spazzed out and actually got the footage of the first race, then It would have been much easier to tell the quicker of the two cars. That one we both were dead even and both hit the gas at the same time. I made no shifting errors either and ended up with about 1/2 - 1 car in front of him.

As for going for larger game, I plan on it. But beggers can't be chooses and it's not always that easy to say..."I think I'd like to run an 06 Sti tonight, lets go find one!" :icon16: So I'll get them as they come.

You've gone too far with that one buddy! :icon16:
Ok that was a little bit of a rip on your fake hood scoop, but I guess I can understand why the company that built your hood didn’t set it up to be real. A real hood scoop does look a little odd.

is that chevy's ground effect kit on the cobalt?? honestly i think the cobalt ss/sc looks a little ugly from the back because of the tail, the other models look decent, i've seen one of the ss/sc before and it looks a lil bulky like a box from the back, otherwise any angles looks pretty nice on the cobalt

That's the 272 concept or something like that. Very nice car, I love the kit that they have on that. I'd also much rather have the spoiler on that one than the thing that's on mine. Also, my scoop is somewhat functional. It's not a ram air or anything, which would be mostly pointless on a blown car like mine anyway, but it does take in cold air from outside the car and push it over the blower/engine, then back out in front of the windshield.

Maybe I didn't see it right, it just looked like he had you in the roll, yet you had him slightly in the dig and since you had him in the dig, it leads me to believe that if everything was perfect, you would have clearly had him in the roll as well. But actually if it was a sportshift then it couldn't really launch the right way could it?
Regardless, I'm not going to go reinstall quicktime to check myself, you had a good run with an nsx and thats all that needs to be said. :cheers:

I got the picture from this website: http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/cobalt_ss_concept.asp

I think there would be some benefit to a real hood scoop, I mean even with the K&N setup your still pulling some hot under hood air into the engine right?

I have to disagree with your hood scoop being somewhat functional. It would have to be at the front of the hood to get any real air flow over the blower/engine.

It may not flow a whole lot of air directly over the blower, but it does evacuate some hot air from under the hood and replace it with cool air from outside the car. Just kinda keeps it circulated, which is better than nothing. As for my k&n...it gets nothing but cold outside air. It goes down into the driverside fender area between the front bumper and the fender lining. Took over an hour to install, but it's a great setup. Just have to watch out for giant puddles is all. :uhoh:

Damn Bulldog, I can't see the vids (no quicktime) but based on your story and everybody else's reactions to the vids, congratulations, I'm extremely impressed.

Thanks man.

No quicktime though huh? Sheesh, must not be an iTunes fan ;)

You could get it, watch the vid and delete it like some of the others did. It's not the greatest quality vid ever(it's a bit dark)but it's still a pretty good set of runs. Plus the NSX sounds like sex. It's worth it just to hear that car. :naughty:

If I wanted to hear NSX's, I'll just pop in a Best Motoring DVD and have all the JDM NSX'ness I can take.

Plus I can see them too! :lol:

I downloaded quicktime just to see your video. I beleive you. The 02's and newer NSXs were the ones who had fixed headlights, and 97 or 98 or newer had the 3.2L V6 with 290 bhp.

Good kill :thumbsup:
